点评:We've visited the Chihuly Glass Museum in Seattle and wanted to see what Chihuly's hometown of Tacoma had to offer in comparison. Here, it's a very different experience, mainly because of the live glass blowing demos in the studio, which explains in part, why the building is fascinatingly shaped the way it is. Wear layers as it can get really hot in the studio! Lovely to walk inside and outside the building where the awesome Bridge of Glass can be perused up close (access by elevator for those needing it) and the intriguing fountain display (these last 2 free to see) by the waterfront. Some Chihuly on display inside but many other artists are highlighted. The giftshop offers slightly less expensive glass products compared to the ones in Seattle's Chihuly giftshop. Wheelchair accessible, clean washrooms, free wifi and a small cafe makes for a great outing. A well-spent 2 hours for us. Check out the website for details about parking, reduced admission, hours, etc.
翻译:我们参观了西雅图的奇胡利玻璃博物馆,想看看奇胡利的家乡塔科马相比之下有什么不同。在这里,体验非常不同,主要是因为工作室里有现场吹玻璃演示,这在一定程度上解释了为什么这座建筑的形状如此迷人。工作室里会很热,所以要穿多层衣服!在建筑内外散步很愉快,可以近距离欣赏令人惊叹的玻璃桥(需要的人可以乘电梯到达)和迷人的喷泉展示(最后两个是免费参观的)。里面有一些奇胡利的作品,但也有很多其他艺术家的作品。礼品店提供的玻璃产品比西雅图奇胡利礼品店的略便宜。轮椅通道、干净的洗手间、免费无线网络和小咖啡馆,让这次出游非常愉快。我们度过了非常充实的 2 个小时。查看网站了解停车、优惠门票、营业时间等详细信息。
